New Hampshire’S Claremont Case And The Separation Of Powers, Edward C. Mosca
New Hampshire’S Claremont Case And The Separation Of Powers, Edward C. Mosca
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] "Court decisions involving the adequacy of public education raise some obvious separation of powers problems. These include the institutional competency of courts to determine what level of education is adequate and how much funding is necessary to reach that level, and the authority of courts to enforce such judgments.

Note: New York - A City In Crisis: Fiscal Emergency Legislation And The Constitutional Attacks, Gayle Gutekunst-Roth
Fordham Urban Law Journal

With the creation of public authorities, the authorization of State funds to aid these authorities, and State hindrance of the payment of municipal debt service obligations, came inevitable claims in the courts that …

Municipal Corporations-Validity Of Agreement By Municipal Employees To Accept Less Than Statutory Salary, John T. Gallagher
Michigan Law Review

The city, as a defense, relied upon certain instruments voluntarily executed by the plaintiffs by which they authorized the city auditor to reduce their salaries by a specified amount each month during these years so that the city could meet its budget without being compelled to exercise its legal right to reduce the fire force. The plaintiffs claimed that the reductions were illegal because of the minimum salary fixed by law. On …
